Hmm... a simple export/import wont work. 7038711 depends on 7030063: AWT 
support for SE-Embedded integration. This (as you can guess from the bug 
name) adds a whole lot of stuff. Andrew, how do you deal with this 
situation? Do we add a icedtea7  patch which is a modified version of 
7038711? Or do we modify and commit 7038711 to the icedtea7 forest and 
later revert it?

Thanks,
